Khan booted out of USA

WBC super lightweight world champion Amir Khan, who had been training at the Hollywood gym of trainer Freddie Roach for his U.S. debut on May 15th against Paulie Malignaggi at Madison Square Garden, has been forced to leave the country due to issues regarding a work visa. The champion is currently in Vancouver, Canada where he has reapplied. Roach has joined Khan in Canada. Reportedly Khan’s problems could stem from a series of driving violations in the U.K. Organizers are confident Khan will be allowed back into the country by fight week for the HBO-televised fight.
